Anextremely rigid,non-local,speedy Party inspection,
with workers, should be carried out in Petrograd, one that
will not be susceptible to “influences”.

Staff Committee reporting numerous cases of abuses,
embezzlement and peculation of money, food products and clothing
collected for the Red Army. The Committee requested that an
investigating commission be appointed and the guilty persons
brought to book.
